Mk5 Extruder: New and Improved! (Page 5 of 5)

Guys I really hate asking this, but could someone make me this and ship it to me?  I would gladly buy it =X.  My Solidoodle 4 has a filament jam and wont print ANYTHING.  I bought the E3D V6 in hopes it would work, but I cannot do anything without it being mounted.  So I hooked up the Solidoodle 4 Stock Extruder, and it still wont work.  Have tried everything under the sun to get the stock extruder to work, but no luck =X.  And now I am sitting on the E3D V6, and I can't even mount it!

Filastuder took forever to give it to the post office because I chose the $3 shipping option (it wasn't the shipping that took forever, it was them taking their sweet *** time giving it to the post office / I would have easily paid $6 for priority flat rate, but $10 is a joke).  After the post office received my package, I got it ridiculously fast.  I followed the guide (because you know the guide *should* be correct) and like the description on Filastuder states, it's not perfect, but I would have never imagined how crappy this piece would be.

First, the parts don't even go together.  I have the random clip that locks the E3D V6 into place with no possible way to screw it in, he has two different models of the print on this thing.  So then, I follow the guide, because I don't care what people are saying after the fact (again the guide should be correct), and I screw in the idler bearing (as per the guide), and screw in the arm.... the bearing is too short...  so what do I do, I unscrew the arm...  the screwhole (which was 100% fine), broke because when I was unscrewing it, I wasnt holding onto it.  So I contact filastruder saying how I am not happy that his print was (IMO) a bad purchase.  His reply?  No "I'm sorry man", but:

Alright... so 1 your part is crap, and you know it's not perfect, BUT DON'T BLAME IT ON ME!! YOU SCREWED IT TOO HARD!!

No... no I didn't.  And no where in the "original guide" did it state that I needed anything else than a couple M3 10mm screws. 

So then I tell him thanks for being cool about... you know... wanting to help a brother out because I just bought a faulty piece from him (and he doesn't have instructions anywhere, specifically stating that you need a new idler bearing...) and now he is spamming my email with comments from this post saying

And still blaming me on screwing it too hard.

Still haven't received a "sorry man for your luck", but a ton of "well you are the idiot who can't read peoples comments".

Use him all you want, hes a complete A hole who if you buy something from him, he will tell you his parts are "as is" and that you broke it and if you don't have the correct parts, hey that's your fault because you can't read users comments.

All in all, Filastruder wasn't worth the money, instead contact someone else.  Should have just sent $10 to someone else to begin with, but I am going to send him more just for his appreciation of people and willingness to help others out.

Doesnt state ANYWHERE that I need a new ilder bearing on your description.  Each mount is different, and his description never once

The print I got in the mail isn't even the same thing as pictured on his website

The mount isnt the same thing, no wonder it's not working as expected.  Best $4.99 + $3.00 ever spent.  Mainly because it is "my fault" in Tim (Filastruders) opinion, but yet he CLEARLY printed the wrong freaking thing.  *Claps hands*

While I wait for mdroman  to get back to me, I amtrying to shave off the lever arm to create enough tension to print my own.

I've made like 30 posts myself telling people with SD4s (and later SD3s) that they would need to buy a 625zz. This is the first instance of confusion I've seen. You should've asked the forum, that's why we're here. You made a mistake. Accept it and move on.

From the Soliforum Rules and Guidelines:
SoliForum is not the place to start trouble, or make derogatory/racist/hateful remarks to other community members. So please be civil.

There are no traditional manuals to these modifications. 3D printers are not like mass produced lawn mowers that package info with every unit. With that being said, I have no background in shop/manufacturing, electronics, or engineering. But I, and many others, read through the threads available to everyone before committing to a purchase and/or installation.
Also, E3D is NOT a hotend designed solely for Solidoodle printers. Requirements vary from machine to machine and it is the consumer's duty to be prepared...especially if you are currently down and in a rush.
PLEASE take this as some words of wisdom, and not as an insult to you or your situation. Like I said, we are all here to help. If you ever need it, just ask!

But where on the guide does it say that I need a different idler bearing.  Where on the website does it say I need a different idler bearing.  Why

and his responce

Extremely defensive for a dude that just sent me something that broke in 5 minutes of trying to install.  His response to the first email is what basically put me over the deep end.

Whatever its over, I'm not going to send something back that will cost me ~$3.50 to only get $4.99 back (and basically get $1.50 of my money back)

I know there are moderators here, all I am saying is that it would be nice on the multiple pages of E3D V6 upgrades to include "hey you need some a new 625zz bearings".  At the same time, why not upgrade the blue connector from the wrong end that is recommended on being purchases into the other half of the connector.

Pretty much, who reads the comments of a user guide.  If the user guide is up to date, then the comments are suggestions.  I have no problem buying a bearing, but its been 3 weeks now that this thing has been broken and I'm just spending $600 on buying a new unit, because nothing is documented well enough, only to find out you need to read #52's comment about the bearings and #75's comment filing down a section of your sprindle, and #93's comment about never going under 200 degrees celcius, because you know, the guide is out of date. 

It's insulting to point fingers at me saying "nice going Craig, you idiot."  And thats all thats been happening.  Had no idea about bearings, but that doesn't excuse the fact that this piece that I just got in the mail is useless after unscrewing it once.

So basically all I am saying is that:

You can buy from Filastruder, but there is no quality and the helpdesk places the blame on you for being neglegent

Hey, I offered to help you out and the offer still stands, but I can't have everyone doing this.  Sorry you think elmoret did you wrong, I have ordered several times from him and always has a good experience.  Also, if your printer is ever down and you don't have a spare, head on over to reddit.com/r/reprappif and you can easily find someone to print it for you.  But I can send you a mount if you still need it.

A few of us started a company with these exact situations in mind.

Keep in mind you want to select "Kit" because this will use a different spring and radial bearing than your stock extruder has.
